Double Your Pleasure

Last time I checked, snoopy only had two of the 5 done, but it looks like he is finished now.

I just d-loaded them, and they look sweet. I am definately using these in combo with his Extra green terrain.

Small problem here.

Coffee beans are showing up instead of game, rolls of silk instead of fish and so on. It looks very interesting but not, I think, quite what you had in mind.
How do I fix this? Just go into CivEdit and change the pictures for the resource?

Most likely cause would be if .bix file has the wrong icon number assigned to each resource.

UPDATE: I just checked this in the v0.3 .bic file and that isn't the problem. Are you using the correct version?

 

[cricket]

I am not sure, should I be using the bic file DyPv3 as a mod or should I use it to replace the "Civ3mod"

 

[Kal-el]

You should be able to play it as a scenario, but the install overwrites a lot of the basic files so you should really replace the basic civ3mod.bic file.

 

[Kal-el]

Is it just me or is ther way too much food now? It looks like I may have to rework the terrain yet again.

Food: Well, I'm not surprised there's to much food at start if you really did lift the production restriction from Despotism. I'll check it out when I get the download done. I think that may have to be changed back.

Install: Next time, can I have zip file(s), please? I'm hoping that Winzip can handle it, but even so it doesn't provide me with the handling options that a zip file does. So I will be converting it to a zip file anyway. I bought winzip a good while ago (been using it every day for quite a while) and have no intention of buying WinAce as well.

Edit: Winzip 8.1 cannot open the file (assuming I got it down OK - I'm pretty sure it did, but my PC had some hiccups towards the end of the download). So, I'll download a 30 day trial of WinAce, install it, uncompress the DyP file and uninstall WinAce again. Hey guys, it's supposed to be easy to get this mod to work

Btw bernskov - Getright didn't recognize the download so I had to give it the url manually. I'm using Opera, that's probably part of the reason - but I have found that downloads work in some places and not in others. For example, this forum (and Apolyton) are really in this respect. It has probably got something to do with the way you coded the download. Just thought you might want to know.

Look's like you made a bad investment - in fact WinZip can't handle very much, and what it does handle, it doesn't handle very well
Sorry but WinZip is not very high on my personal list of favourite software, and I'm definitely not going to buy a license for it. I tried to use the Demo version to create a multiple disk set, but it wouldn't allow me to do so unless I actually inserted floppy disks and created the files on floppys What kind of stupid interface is that? That's why I decided to stay with my favourite compression utility: [Plug] WinRar - it simply can't be beat. [/Plug]

But, ok I'll check out a couple of shareware zip-handlers later today and maybe replace the .rar's with zip's - in the mean time why don't y'all check out www.download.com - if you search for "zip" and "rar" you'll find plenty of Freeware utilities that handle most archive types

[Inside note] Bernskov: Good thing we didn't decide to use ARJ, huh?[/Inside Note]

This may be true, but I have been quite satisfied with it and it has a nice UI. I'll check out the freeware stuff. Anyway, that's off topic.

OK, I had my rant - and thank you for being patient with me.
Here's a more balanced version: The web page and coherent download is a great help. It would however be even better of the download was (also) in zip format.

I played just a little bit and had no obvious food imbalances. I'm pretty sure it will surface eventually, though. I also wonder if Despotism doesn't become too powerful without the food restriction.

I noticed a few things:

The barbarian colour has changed! All of them has, in fact. Is my install screwed up?

The hurry penalty is 40 in both cases. Shouldn't it be 20?

Entertainers still provide 2 happy people. Should it be 1?

Iron comes with Bronze Working. Shouldn't this be Iron Working? The change log says Mining.

Pearls are available at start. The change log says it should be Boat Building.

Fish are available with Farming. The change log says Pottery. None of them make a lot of sense to me. How about Boat Building?

Tundra can have Seal. I hope we don't get too many landlocked seals

RobO:

Ok, sorry about putting WinZip down. Of course I understand that WinZip is the proggie most people are familiar with, and in my quest to be a good Release Manager, I will figure something out and upload a zip file set as well (if Bernskov allows it ) Hopefully, good ol'e Dos-based PKZip will be able to do the trick.

In the meantime, check out UltimateZip (available at Download.com) - I've only looked at it for a few hours, but I'm already impressed. Two words sum up the how good it is : German Engineering - and it's freeware too!

About food, I haven't seen any real imbalances yet, but I'v also only managed to play until around 700 BC, so I don't know what happens when I get Irrigation (farming).

LOL - Maybe we should be able to build a Greenpeace or World Wildlife Foundation wonder to take care of that problem

Just added a split up Zip fileset to the downloads at our website -
Check out the Install Guide

Hope this helps all you WinZip addicts

How about a 1 complete file .zip download for all us WinZip addicts with cable!

 

[Isak]

Heh, heh

Way ahead of you Nightstorm.... It's already there

Maybe imbalanced is too strong of a word, but there is way more food out there now and that's not really what I was aiming for. My solution to this would be to Change as Follows:
Plains: was 2/2/1 now 2/1/0 worked 1/1/1
Grass: was 3/0/1 now 2/0/1 worked 2/0/1
Coast: was 3/0/1 now 2/0/2
Sea : was 2/1/1 now 1/1/1

I think that should fix things. So froma food standpoint its still better to build on grassland because you will eventually be able to Farm it.

I noticed a few things:

Of course you did.

The barbarian colour has changed! All of them has, in fact. Is my install screwed up?

Nope, I changed the colors around, I was aiming at more traditional colors. Actually I should probably switch the French (dark blue) and the Americans (white). I have the French using the blue because that was the color of the Republican Army under Napolean, but I suppose the White of the Kings would be more appropriate.

The hurry penalty is 40 in both cases. Shouldn't it be 20?

Didn't touch it.

Entertainers still provide 2 happy people. Should it be 1?

I said I was going to change it and I forgot. Should be 1. Sorry.

Iron comes with Bronze Working. Shouldn't this be Iron Working? The change log says Mining.

Should be Mining with the rest of the base metals.

Pearls are available at start. The change log says it should be Boat Building.

Typo in the Changelog.

Fish are available with Farming. The change log says Pottery. None of them make a lot of sense to me. How about Boat Building?

Its Farming because you can build your first boats with Farming.

Tundra can have Seal. I hope we don't get too many landlocked seals

Poor little guys.

That's it for now.

Hello, I wonder if any of u can help. I just downloaded v0.3 and installed it as per instructed, but when i go to play it the 'new game' button dosent do anything and i tried to start it as a scenario but a msg box came up saying
"Invalid scenario version
version 3.08 is no longer
compatable"
I am using the new patch 1.21f. Thanx

 

[pesoloco]

hey Kal-El,
I started working on the naval mine unit that you wanted
(see link in signature)

 

[RobO]

The Hurry penalty was changed back to 20/20 in 1.21f
I suppose the mod is still based on 1.17f, so there could be more changes in 1.21 that have to be edited in manually. I'll look it up if I get the chance, but can't make any promises right now.

I suppose copper is required by other units than spearmen and/or some buildings and that's why it doesn't come with bronze working. Same with Iron.

Why not make pearls appear with farming then? After all, you do need boats to harvest them.

I've only seen this happen when there is no Civ3mod.bic file in the \Civilization III\ folder - are you sure you extracted to the right path ?

If all else fails, try uninstalling Civ3 (remember to back up any files you want to keep), reinstall Civ3, then apply patch 1.21 and install the DyP mod again.

If that fails .... I guess I won't be sleeping tonight after all...
